At p. IN. yesterday our qulet

cry of fire. The Court House bell

minute both fire companies with
their respective engines, wefe rapid

bv hundreds of heroic citizens, and
small boys, who were ready and will
ling to face any danger, in attempt
ING to preserve life and property
But all heroic and gallant sentiments
were soon dissipated by the absence
of the fire and by the heat OF the sun
The cause of alarm was the burning

Mr.. Samuel J. Lang, whose ser
vices as n custom and artistic tailor
our community were so fortunate in
securing, informs us that on June
1st, which completed his second
month in our city, he had turned out
$1,000 worth of suits. This speaks
well for the work of our new tailor,
and which we learn has given gen
eral satisfaction. We again call at
tention to his advertisement, which
appears in another column, and to
which he attributes full share OF
success. You will always find him
at his store, Talbot building, oppo,
site First National Bank, with a full
line of samples, ready and willing
to wait upon customers. Call and
see him.

The Independent Fire Company
had their picture taken in uniform
with their engine and hose-reel on
Saturday last. We are very anxious
to see one of them, for we feel sure
that such group of handsome men
will make a good picture. After the
ordeal of having their pictures taken
the company, commanded by Mayor
Hough, gave 4 very creditable pa
rade and drill.

Judge Perkins OutdOne.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Judge George q. Perkins, of Coving-
ton, is mournful. He feels that he has
been treated unjustly. At the Demo
cratic Convention of Kentucky, which
nominated Proctor Knott for Governor,
the Judge was selected to make the
nominating speech for Fayette Hewitt
for Auditor. There was no trouble
about Hewitt. He got through all right;
but the speech did not. The Judge had
prepared himself with great care. He
had rented "a barn in the West Covington
suburbs and rehearsed the whole thing
to himself a half-dozen times. When he
took the stage n hush fell upon the whole
assembly. He pitched his voice with a
chem" and started, -Four years ago"
then some one shouted. ''Oh, that's too
far back. Give us something fresh"
He gasped and took another start -Four
years ago" Then another listener
shouted, sit down." and the whole con-
vention took up the cry. The Judge
knows a good thing when he sees it, and
so sat down. He never got any further
then, and has never got any further
since than -Four years ago" But here
comes the cruel feature which so dis
turbs him. At the Louisville Conven-
ton of last week, Sam Hill, of Ohio
County, was made temporary chairman
upon condition that he would get out of
the way of Jim Bryan for Lieutenant
Governor. He, also, was primed with a
glorious speech. He started out: Gen
tlemen of the Convention. twenty years
ago" Then Judge Perkins fell off his
chair in paroxysm. The convention

light; but Hin went on with his speech,
all the same. Hence the tears of Per-
kins. He mournfully remarked: "Hill
went me sixteen years better, and took

Cloves and Mr.. G.. s. Nichols left here
for New York last week.
noticed several articles in your pa
per in regard to hogs, and my own ex-
perience as well as that of my. neiShbors
may be interesting to those that are hog
gishly afflicted, In the early days after
the ''late unpleasantess'' when Florida
was nothing but wilderness, when her
fiourishing towns and cities We're either
unknown, or were built up with a few
rough board shanties, your correspond
ent struck out in the wilderness of Fed
eral Point Our nearest neighbor was
five miles away. OF course we were
lonely at times, and to secure some kind
of company we allowed family to &C.
cupy one of our unused shanties just for
the salRp of company.
We had been hard at work clearing up
land and getting it in shape for small
crop of sweet potatoes, which were well
under way, filling our souls with the
hope, that by and by our diet would be
blessed with the admixture of potatoes
to our hog and hominy, when to our hor-
ror we discovered that our neighbor had
procured a hog, that had found our po-
tato patch and was making the most of
it for his own benefit. No one can fully
appreciate the feelings of your CORES
pondent as he made this horrible discov-
cry one morning. That Internal hog
was digging for dear life, he had got a
holedeep enough so that but little but his
tail was visible as he worked to
secure our hard earned crop. Not
wishing to have trouble with
lating the facts IN the case and kindly
asked him to shut up his pig, as we
could not afford the time to construct a
fence around our field. His reply was:
Fix up your fence!" That we could
not do in time to save our crop, and that
internal hog destroyed it completely.
The lesson was II good one. Our kind
neighbor was soon given an opportunity
to seek other quarters, where he could
keep hogs or not as he pleased, and as
other parties began to move in, we made
special arrangements with them that
they should not keep hogs to run at
large. This arrangement has been faith
fully kept. Outsiders have sometimes
allowed their hogs to come into the set
Element, but believe very few of them
were ever driven out. The place proved
very sickly for hogs, and of late we
have had no trouble whatever with
them.
The ordinary razor-back is almost
worthless, and is not worthy the care or
attention of any civilized person, much
less the protection of law, that compels
the farmer to fence against him. A vi
ciOus hog will go through any fence
that can be constructed, unless it is a
solid board fence, and if the farmers
crop is worth the planting, it is certainly
worth more than all the hogs that will
be likely to attack it, even in hoggish
neighborhood. look upon the present
method of hog raising as simply relic
of barbarism, Improbable and unwor-
thy the people of these enlightened days.
a nuisance that the sooner abated the
better for even the owners thereof.
